NCP appeals to pvt medical colleges over allotment of seats

NCP today appealed the private medical colleges under Maharashtra University of Health Sciences and medical colleges under deemed universities in the state to allot 85 per cent of their seats on merit as per the NEET merit list to students, who have passed their 10th and 12th board examinations from Maharashtra.
A statement issued by the party said distressed parents of medical aspirants, who are aggrieved over the admissions, met party chief Sharad Pawar today and sought his intervention in the matter.
"As suggested by Pawar, we have decided to appeal to private medical colleges to consider the legitimate interest of local meritorious students while abiding by the judgement of the Supreme Court," the party said.

Since there is no uniform policy for determining the eligibility criteria for admission in private colleges, the state has the right to determine the percentage of seats that can be alloted to the students in the state.
